Oil cooler leak, need help ID part
Hello all,
I had my OFHG done less than a year ago along with the oil cooler. I recently inspected my engine for leaks and I discovered that I have a very slow seep of oil on this part of the oil cooler. Now i don't have social media so I can't really ask on the n55/e90 pages on FB, but I figured you guys can help me. The included picture shows a circled area in red where i have oil seeping, it is not a dribble, it is not dripping, you can just seen the thin line of oil and Im assuming it is rurnning down due to gravity and leaking on the engine itself as i see no evidence on the lines, belt, pulleys directly underneath it. I can't find a gasket for this small plate on the oil cooler, does this mean I have to replace the whole oil cooling unit to solve the leak? is it possible it could be leaking from the oil cooler seal and up to that crevice ? Thanks all!!! ps the image i uploaded is upside down, but it is just for reference. Last edited by JUMAS; 12-10-2019 at 08:45 AM.. |
